Lubrizol Corp. has strengthened its US distribution network through two new partnerships that broaden access to its industrial compression, refrigeration, and heat transfer fluid product lines across the Southeast and Midwest United States.
Lubrizol has named Sampson Bladen Oil Company (Sampson) as an authorized stocking partner for its CPI industrial compression lubricants, Emkarate and Icematic refrigeration compressor lubricants, Paratherm heat transfer fluids, and Solest products. The agreement expands Lubrizol’s presence throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.
Founded in 1936, Sampson is a full-line petroleum and petrochemical marketer with distribution facilities in Clinton and Lexington, North Carolina, and Salem, Virginia.
“This partnership reflects our dedication to ethical business practices and delivering quality solutions,” said Lisa Smith, Global Distribution Compliance Manager at Lubrizol. “Working with Sampson Bladen Oil ensures customers receive trusted products backed by rigorous standards and a mutual focus on integrity.”
Lubrizol named Elite Supply as its newest authorized channel partner in the Midwest, covering Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Indiana. Elite Supply supports a wide range of industries, including transportation, chemical, oil and gas, environmental, and food and beverage.
“We are thrilled to begin the year by expanding our partnership with Lubrizol, a market leader in specialty chemicals,” said Matt Steer, President of Elite Supply. “This strategic step bolsters our growing fluid division while complementing our robust industrial offerings, allowing us to serve our regional customers even more effectively.”
